Beliefs about Training, Learning, and Technology (Week #1 Blog #2)

For this blog entry I would like to expand on my thoughts on the discussion board.

1)I believe that training in organizations should be required by all employees (especially new ones) to learn new methods that could help make the organization better.

New employees coming in need to learn the normal operations of the company and I believe this is what training does. It also shows new employees about the company, how it functions, and the different tools the company offers. Training can also re-enforce old employees of new practices and maybe get them fired up again about the company's operation.


2)I believe that learning in organizations should occur at all levels. Top management all the way down to employees can all learn in organizations.

Yes, even managers, CIOs, CEOs, etc can and need to be trained. No one knows everything. With this said I think we conducting training having everybody together is key. This shows people that even management cares about training and is wanting to learn how to better the company.

3)I believe, related to training and learning in organizations, that technology can dramatically help make an organization a better one. There are so many tools that can make an organization achieve this and they are almost crazy not to use such tools.

There is a bunch of cool software like Camtasia that can make this happen. I'm very excited about learning to work with this program. I hope to become well at it so I maybe can use this when I teach.
